National Dance Day!

July 31st is National Dance Day! So You Think You Can Dance is promoting this national holiday to get people off their couches and on their feet. Below is a video of the dance Tabitha & Napoleon choreographed specifically for this day. It's really easy to learn and super fun. I'm teaching it to both my hip hop classes this week, along with some little girls from church for their Wednesday night activity. Try and learn it. You'll feel better and may even want to keep dancing! That's my hope! Let me know how you like it!

30 Weeks

Whew! This pregnancy is flying! Here I am at 30 weeks, just 10 away from having this little boy. It's amazing how different the second one is. By this time with Jonathan, it seemed as though I had most everything done. We haven't even begun to start the nursery, and Joseph still has to finish the playroom we converted half the garage into. On another note, I've started nesting. I clean everything in sight, which is REALLY odd for me. I'm so not the clean freak! It's kinda nice having a super clean house all the time but I know it won't last. :)

PS~ all you moms out there with two or more kiddos - did you feel like you had to cherish every little second with your first? That's the way I'm feeling and I'm starting to get sad it will no longer be just me and Jonathan. I can't wait for this little guy to make his appearance, but at the same time, it saddens me to think about it. Sometimes it's a bit overwhelming so I try to just take every day day by day, if that makes any sense. Did any of you have this feeling?

Fatbooth

This is the greatest app you will ever buy on your iPhone. Believe me - it's worth the $0.99! I found this from a friend (thanks Katherine) and have since Fatboothed my whole family and quite a few of my friends. Here are two of my favorite pictures. I hope my brother doesn't kill me!

Is this not absolutely hilarious?!

Thumb Sucker

Jonathan was a binky baby and never once put his thumb in his mouth. I might have a different story on my hands with this little guy. This is an old sono pic from back in May but I forgot to post it so I'm doing so now.

Taking Inventory

This picture cracks me up. It totally looks like he's taking inventory of his movies. Don't mind the green butterfly. I thought I'd save the boy some of his dignity.

Mother's Day

This is an old topic but I meant to put up a picture of what Joseph and I made for my mom for Mother's Day. We were pretty proud of it. My mom and I both love to use fresh herbs when cooking, but they get really expensive when you buy them all the time. What better present than your very own herb garden? I totally want one for myself now!

We planted basil, rosemary and cilantro for her and left one space empty so she could choose. She decided on tarragon.

Hawaiian Falls

Just a few pics I took of my mom and Jonathan at Hawaiian Falls. It's been so nice having a season pass there this summer. My mom, aunt, two cousins and Nana all go and they totally take over watching Jonathan so I can just sit in the water and attempt to cool off!

Baby bunnies

You know your grass is too long when a rabbit makes a nest in the middle of your yard! Poor Joseph has been so exhausted with school and clinicals that he hasn't had the time nor the energy to maintain our yards. I mowed the front yard almost two weeks ago and about went into labor so unfortunately I'm not the best candidate. Too bad Jonathan is so young - I'd put him to work! Yesterday, Joseph had a day off and spent the whole day mowing both the front and back yards while Jonathan and I went to Hawaiian Falls. When I got back, he showed me a nice little patch of grass that he'd "missed" so as not to disturb the babies. We've had baby bunnies one other time and he actually ran over their nest with the lawnmower! Thankfully there was no bunny carnage and the mama bunny moved them later that night. I took pictures this time cuz they're just so stinkin' cute! We'll see how long they last before she moves them this time.

Here is the nest from on top. I wish I had gotten a picture of it from our porch so you could see how short the grass is all around it.

Just to show the teeny size of them, that is the head of one of Jonathan's toddler golf clubs.

One of them showed his sweet face

Cute little ears!

Future Accountant

The boy loves money!

Floaties

It's been so dang hot here, I'm trying to stay inside or in the water at all times! Here are some pics of Jonathan and Joseph having a good time at the ranch pool. Jonathan loves these floaties my mom bought for him. He has no fear of water and loves to jump off the edge to one of us, go down the slide by himself and be dropped off the diving board. I definitely have a little fishy on my hands.

Daredevil

That blur you see is my daredevil! He's totally comfortable jumping off higher objects now. Whether it be our couch, a stair or this here car at the mall. The world is literally his playground!
